On 4 Dec 2021 Russell Butler wrote on Mogensdatter-3:

[[Mogensdotter-1|Gullow Mogensdotter]] and [[Mogensdatter-3|Gullov Mogensdatter]] appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse and similar bio. I asked someone who speaks Swedish and English and she indicated that they look like the same individual. Is there someone who knows Norwegian, Swedish, and English who can review and, if appropriate, complete the merge of the biographies in Norwegian, Swedish, and English?

I think the problem is that Mogensdatter-3 has the wrong parents, according to the long, repetitive and confusing text that was imported from GEDCOM with Mogensdotter-1 in 2011 - incidentally the text is mostly in Norwegian. It discusses two possible sets of parents and it looks to me like the conclusion is that the other set of parents is more probable than the parents attached to Mogensdatter-3. Part of the problem is that the parents attached to Mogensdatter-3 are more "genealogically attractive", since their line goes a lot further back in time, while little is known about the other set.

Thanks for the clarification. How about uncertain parents and a research note explaining the dispute over the conflict in the parents?
